Just look at that image, chimney stack vertical airflow layout, along with a GPU layout that averts the vapour chamber cooling issues in some cards

Was waiting for the Lian Li O11 Evo XL with it's tasty upright GPU mount to replace my FT02, but now there is another choice :)

https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/alf2b_g/

The motherboard tray is rotated 90° such that its I/O faces the top of the case, while airflow from three large 180 mm Air Penetrator 184i PRO fans with air-channeling surfaces, direct air drawn from the bottom of the case onto almost all surfaces inside the case.
There are three ways to orient your graphics card. The first of course sees it installed directly onto the motherboard, with its I/O facing the top, the next one sees it rotated, with its I/O still facing the top, but its fan vents facing the side-panel. The third and most unique orientation, sees the graphics card installed with its I/O pointing to the rear, but tilted sideways at a 11-degree angle.

Vertical GPU mount makes more sense considering sagging with current heavy GPU. But this Alta F2 and FT02 is not high enough to accommodate the 4090. That's why I got the Lancool 216. I really like my old FT02.
 
Plenty of space down low for the intake

They showed this off ages ago is it any closer to production I wonder?

Does this mean we could possibly see a 540mm closed loop cooler?

No plans now, the volume of such product would be too low to be viable.

Maybe you were thinking of the ALTA S1 prototype that we showed at Computex 2019? Admittedly that case is somewhat similar to the ALTA F2. But yes, the ALTA F2 is already in production so they should start appearing in Asian marketplaces as early as this week with North American availability in a couple of weeks and Europe by the end of month!

Then what type of closed loop cooler does silverstone recommend for this case and how do you mount a 360 or 420 radiator to the three 180 fans?

The case comes with a fan bracket that will allow you to mount any size radiator from 120mm to 560mm (140mm x 4) on top of the three 180mm fans. There's lots of options for radiators in this case, please check out the interactive picture on ALTA F2's product page (the large graphics above the specifications section) to see which size radiators goes where.
 
There were 12 units for sale, did they really all sell out that quickly?? Crazy, especially at that price
 
Yes, Scorptec Computers will be selling the ALTA F2 in Australia so you should definitely check with them first!

Watercooled version, push pulling with the 180mm fans with 140mm on top
